In less than 10 days, a massive dust storm and rain once again wreaked havoc in several parts of India - Photogallery

In less than 10 days, a massive dust storm and rain once again wreaked havoc in several parts of India. According to reports, at least 60 people were killed and more than 200 were injured in Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Delhi & NCR. While the dust storm on May 3 claimed more than 150 lives, UP was the most affected state this time, where 38 people lost their lives due to fallen trees and collapsing walls. In Lakhimpur, 80 houses and buildings partly or completely collapsed by storm. UP Chief Minister Adityanath Yogi ordered the concerned government officials to distribute the relief material to the affected families. At least 12 people were killed and over 15 injured in West Bengal after lighting struck them amid heavy rain. Two deaths were reported in Delhi too after a squall and dust storm hit the national capital and neighbouring areas. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences to the bereaved families. “Saddened by the loss of lives due to storms in some parts of the country. Condolences to the bereaved families. I pray for the speedy recovery of those injured. Asked officials to provide all possible assistance to those affected,” he tweeted. (PTI)
